I love the whole super-hero genre of films and TV series. Not the actual print comics, per se, and not the animated stuff, but the films, the movies, the one with humans, metas and superheroes on screen. That whole tortured-soul, personal-demons-to-overcome, life-isn't-automatically-easy-when-you're-a-super-hero thing works for me. Well, that and the worlds they live in. Two of my…

It has been a handful of years since I published my Uber Chronicles books, and these past few months I've been reviewing them and polishing them up a bit. Here's the introduction to book two in the five-book series, Uber Chronicles: Reflections from the Rearview Mirror. Be a fly on the wall … or a fly…

A bit of love for the Uber Chronicles books

After publishing my Uber Chronicles books, I received some attention, albeit not (yet) from The New York Times book reviews. Here are some of the author interviews I gave and book reviews I found online. Andi's Book Reviews What was the inspiration behind this book? I think most people get into grooves (or ruts) in their lives…

Dudley!

It's not often a child actor transitions well to a successful acting career as an adult, but Harry Melling has, imo, done so brilliantly ... and unexpectedly. I didn't even RECOGNIZE Dudley Dursley of the Harry Potter world in the Coen brothers’ "The Ballad of Buster Scruggs." Touched my heart, he did! Now that I can spot…

This evening’s spontaneous craft project! I have these classic, well-made boots I bought well over a decade ago. Maybe even 15 years ago. They were a rich caramel brown. Nice, but when I got my colors analyzed and discovered I was a cool summer (dusty, smoky cool colors work well on me), I…

I love the Interwebs. I love the Omeleto movies. Some are more fabulous than others. This one was adorable.

Makes me smile

Oh my! I am not one prone to post cute dog, cat and animal photos and videos. (I enjoy that others do; it just ain't my thing.) But THIS?!! This gave me both pause and a reason to smile. I think the music is Cajun. Check this on-beat dog out. @funnybob33 Feel the beat! #funnybob #dog #dancingdog…

Guests!!!

Sometimes I wonder if my house would ever get straightened up if it were not for the occasional, and sometimes spontaneous, guest. I swear I got more done (put away, straightened up, organized, slightly cleaned) in 30 minutes--upon learning yesterday evening that a friend who had been a "maybe, but probably not happening" visit on my…

Le sigh. I need to provide a bunch of information for a license I need to get for some Something Or Other. OK. Sure. Here's this info, that info, this passport number, etc. Then I get to the physical identifier section and the HAIR COLOR question. I mean, come on, no one…

Sailing the Inner Harbor

What a glorious weekend! Indian Summer in the mid-Atlantic, when the days warm up to near-Summer temps, the sun shines brightly and the coming cold of late Fall and Winter are around the bend. I had the opportunity to go sailing in Baltimore's Inner Harbor Saturday, a full-sun, in-the-70s day in November! It was spectacular. Company and…

I had a lovely Facebook-inspired experience yesterday. A week or so ago, I was looking at the "friends are going to these events" notices on FB and saw there was an alpaca and fleece festival/event happening at the Howard County Fairgrounds, about 20 minutes from my home. I RSVPed, added the event to my calendar and…

Look what my mommy made!

The joys of having a mother who is a natural-born artist, gardener and overall clever gal come in many forms. I present to you Eileen Newburn 's butternut squash, pepper ears, pepper tongue Halloween-y thing of 2022. (The eye dots look peppercorns but I'm guessing on that.) Well played, mom!
